Amazing ’80s Ads From Omni, the Mag That Defined Geekdom
- api 13y agoOmni is so much more interesting, open minded, and intellectual than most of today's geekdom... it's sad.
- walshemj 13y agohmm I thought that was mondo 2000 - I recall having to goto forbidden planet (the uk biggest sf book shop) to buy my copies of mondo 2000 which where racked together with skin 2 :-)
- gumby 13y agoWire'd selection missed the best ad of all: in the very first issue was an ad for Rockwell aerospace. It was an iron-on transfer with a picture of the Space Shuttle and the words, "A Spaceship Has Landeded On Earth. It Came From Rockwell." I cut that ad out and ironed it onto a white T shirt. Dunno how much an undamaged copy of the first issue might fetch, but that T shirt was worth it. (posted on the Wired site too before I remembered that I got there via an HN link, so sorry for the dup).
